Chief Technology Officer — Sam Eaton: Sam Eaton is stepping down as Chief Technology Officer with a named successor.
Why it matters: Other revenue rose 98% to $33 million in Q2. Continued growth would support Yelp's goal of a $250 million annual run rate by end-2028.
Supportive ifOther revenue grows year over year again in Q3 and tops Q2's $33 million.
Worry ifOther revenue falls below $33 million in Q3 or shows no year-over-year growth.
Why it matters: Yelp says Hatch sped up its product work, but the reports give no revenue or customer count. Clear figures would show whether the deal is gaining traction.
Supportive ifYelp reports a Hatch revenue figure and says it grew year over year, or reports a higher customer count.
Worry ifYelp reports falling Hatch revenue or customer numbers, or says the product has not added revenue.
Why it matters: Q2 revenue grew just 1% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA fell 9%. Q3 results will test the full-year outlook.
Watch forQ3 revenue is at least $366 million, as implied by the midpoint of the prior full-year revenue range. Adjusted EBITDA is at least $79 million.
Also watch forQ3 revenue is below $366 million or adjusted EBITDA is below $79 million, and Yelp cuts its 2026 outlook.
